Physical Description[edit]
Salticids have eight eyes, two the average size, and the other 6 smaller. The placement of these eyes are as unique to individual as fingerprints. They also have 4 arms, as well as 4 legs. The arms are all akin to a humans, with 2 being placed slightly back and lower than the normal placement of their primary arms. Due to the musculature and placement of these arms, they are unable to use weaponry. 2 of their legs are akin to a humans. The other two ar placed above the hip and have very few muscles attached to them. These limbs are for help with balancing, as well as climbing. Some salticids have splotches of color on their skin, similar to a sider or tarantula's markings. These do not serve a functional purpose, but can be very elaborate.
